Awai – Copywriting For a Cause

Why “Do Good to Do Well” is the Future for Any Business

There’s a major shift happening in the way companies, big and small, market themselves. Simply building the bottom line is no longer enough. Companies also need to build the communities that support them.

Enter cause marketing.

Cause marketing is a big deal right now for several reasons. For one, it’s becoming a mature marketing option. The Return On Investment for well-executed cause campaigns consistently shows a positive payoff.

The more important question here though, is why cause campaigns are succeeding. Experts in the field say we’re transitioning to an age of higher consciousness. Consumers across the board are moving from “conspicuous” to “conscious” consumption. To put it simply: We expect the companies behind our favorite products to perform as good corporate citizens.

In turn, business leaders are being forced to make tough choices. Should they stand up for social issues? Partner with charities? Add a social message to their advertising?

Yes, yes, and yes.

It used to be the main goal of any business was to maximize profits. Philanthropy was done on the side.

But now, the two have merged. That is, doing well in business versus doing good with business are no longer separate things.

And that spells big opportunity for copywriters who are also interested in doing well by doing good.
